It took ten days for
the woman Chief Minister of the state to visit the family and village of the
girl who was brutally raped and murdered at Kamduni, Barasat. Ever since the
incident of rape happened, the people of the village have been demanding that
the Chief Minister visit their village and redress their grievances. Barasat
has emerged as a notorious place for criminals and rapists who have been
harassing the women of the area for a long period of time. Illegal liquor dens
and misbehavior, abuse and sexual harassment are flourishing in the area with
impunity while the local administration is turning a blind eye. The latest
incident of rape of a college student was the last straw in the camel’s back
for the people of the area. It is in this context that the people of Kamduni
expected that their grievances be heard by the Chief Minister herself.

Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee hardly spent 5 minutes with the family of the girl and hurried out of
the house. By then a large number of people had gathered, particularly women,
who were raising slogans demanding punishment for the culprits and asking the
CM to listen to their grievances. The spontaneous outpouring of emotions and
anger of the people of that area however made the Chief Minister angry. When a
woman asked the CM to speak to them she was shouted down and told to keep quiet
by the CM herself. The CM also alleged that the woman was doing politics to
which the lady responded that it was the CM who was doing politics. In the most
shameless manner, the CM instead of trying to calm down the villagers, alleged
that those who were protesting are CPI(M) activists. It needs to be noted that
all the panchayat seats in the area has been won uncontested by the TMC in the
ensuing Panchayat elections.

It has become a habit
of the CM to blame everything on the CPI(M) and the Left whenever uncomfortable
questions are asked to her. Moreover, she also has the habit of targeting
individuals for raising questions about her Government. The plight of Prof.
Ambikesh Mahapatra, Shiladitya Chowdhury and Tania Bharadwaj has not been
forgotten by the people of the state. Such undemocratic behavior does not befit
the elected head of the state of West Bengal. The people of Kamduni and other
places are living a life of constant terror, sexual harassment and the threat
of rape. In such circumstances, the minimum that a head of the Government must
do is to guarantee them safety and security. However, the TMC Government hardly
believes in such civilized and democratic responses to the demands of the
people.
